魯迅과 목판화운동 —현대판화의 수용을 중심으로

Abstract

In this article, we traced the process that Luxun had accepted print art as a new genre and researched the reason why he had chosen it as such, the characteristic of print art, and his point of view related to emerging printmaking movement. We can devided the process of Luxun’s acceptance into three stages, that is, the first stage that Luxun considered prints as a replicating object or illustration and ornamental designs, the second stage that Luxun recognized the value of woodcut in using prints as an illustration, and the third stage that Luxun leaded the woodcut movement through a short training course and several prints exhibitions. In the course of accepting print art and recognizing its value, Luxun summarized the characteristic of print art as follows; getting several original prints as a nature of print art, keeping its reality in spite of the coarseness of printing technique, simplicity and ease in printmaking, popularity of various uses. In addition, he emphasized the chinese specialty in terms of printmaking and took precautions against the ideological radicality.
